Hello there!<\/p>\n

Welcome to this little corner that is mine. The name is Shelvia and I am an avid photographer. Originally born and raised in Indonesia; I moved to the lovely city that is now my home, Melbourne, Australia<\/a> in 2000.<\/p>\n

My interest in camera developed since I was a child (couldn’t help it with my dad’s exemplary love of photography!). Admittedly, it started with the excitement of having my photos taken; but then I ran out of poses and got bored of smiling to the camera. One day, I turned the camera around to try being on the other side and it was love instantly.<\/p>\n

With regards to equipments in the world of d-SLRs; I started with a Nikon D60<\/a> (a shiny upgrade from my compact Canon IXUS 7.0<\/a>) armed with the 18-55mm Kit Lens<\/a>. My loved ones then generously present me with “THE” lens, Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f1.8G<\/a>, for my 26th birthday. Since then, I added Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f\/4.5-5.6G IF-ED<\/a> to my lens collection. Later, the temptation to upgrade my camera body to a Nikon D90<\/a> became too much to resist. Absolutely no regrets!<\/p>\n

For post processing, I mainly used Lightroom<\/a>. Because I am far from an expert on that, I often visit Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips<\/a> or Victoria Bampton – Lightroom Queen<\/a> for tips and tricks. If an image needed further enhancements, I revert to Photoshop<\/a>. For collating or simple fun touch-ups, I recommend PhotoScape<\/a> (Freeware!). For general photography tips and talk, I like The Photo Argus – A Photographer’s Resource<\/a> and Digital Photography Tips: Digital Photography School<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The versatility of photography never ceased to amaze me. Combined with my love of food – it results in drool-worthy food images. Combined with my love of travelling – it results in beautiful landscape, street images. Combined with my love of people – it results in intimate engaging images. The fact that it shows me the same world in a different light again and again is simply cherry on top.<\/p>\n

Anyways – thank you for visiting this humble corner of mine & please do say hi below or drop me an email<\/a>. Your thoughts, suggestions, comments are much appreciated. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
